Are there still straight people in the fashion circle?

On the last Friday of July, Leila Winter, the deputy editor-in-chief of the American edition of "Pioneer", arrived in Shanghai with great anticipation from everyone.According to the official arrangement of the trip to China, her time tonight will belong to the "welcome dinner full of friendship and respect" that Xinghan Company has prepared for a long time. It sounds like the relationship between the Chinese version of the magazine and the American version, whether it is itself or the staff. All very well.

However, if you want to know, in fact, of course it is not the case.Media companies contract fashion magazine business to capital groups in various regions of the world, just because they value the money-making ability and strong connections of local snakes.To put it more bluntly, there is not much relationship between the countless versions of "Pioneer" except that they are all called this name. They work hard to make money according to local conditions and will not easily interfere with each other, even if the United States is the orthodox origin of "Pioneer" land.

Therefore, whether this welcome dinner is full of friendship, respect or other magical or complicated feelings is actually not important, and there is no need to delve into it.After all, the celebrity entertainers, media representatives, brand executives and fashion group leaders who attended the banquet got this invitation letter at an expensive price, and they only wanted to meet the editor-in-chief of the American edition of "Pioneer", the art director of Nali Group, and The founder of the fund, and an honorary associate professor at the Nellie College of Art in France, hopes to leave even the slightest impression on Winter's team in order to create possible cooperation opportunities in the future.

Around 05:30, guests dressed in costumes entered the hall one after another, toasting each other.

Ni Meng, who was wearing a dark purple long dress, glanced at her phone, with a slightly anxious expression, and said to Cheng Ganrui, "I guess the road is a bit congested. Well, in fact, it would be great if she came to Shanghai first and then went to Beijing, and she doesn't have to be so nervous about the arrangement." .”

Cheng Qianrui smiled and said: "It's okay, it's scheduled to start at seven o'clock, there's no rush. There's no traffic on the road now, so I'll definitely be here on time."

Ni Meng pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "Return on time, but I use the advertising space to exchange her a few hours of touting. Of course, the longer the better, the more cost-effective it is. In normal time, I can only say that I will not lose money. If I am late... I don't even want to Talk to Nari about the future cooperation."

Cheng Qianrui put his arms in, shook his head and said, "It's always said that we love to talk about relationships, but now it seems that foreigners can do more than we do. The watch on the cover, you had to temporarily insert a place for Stykoil before, because she was coming ?”

Ni Meng spread her hands: "Layla Winter's cousin, Alan Luo Jie, is the creative director of this company. The two of them wear a pair of trousers, so let's use it as a way to save face. I want to get the brand of her favorite student Stuart, but what's the matter?" They sell perfumes, and you can’t see it on the cover, so you don’t have to take the trouble.”

During the conversation, Shen Zhen came in and said to Ni Meng: "Editor-in-Chief, the assistant over there said that he has already boarded the bus. The driver got on the elevated highway and will arrive in about four to ten minutes."

"Okay." Ni Meng responded, then turned to Cheng Qianrui and said, "Then Mr. Cheng, I'll go out and say hello first. I'll let you know when Mr. Zhao comes."

Cheng Ganrui nodded: "Okay, you go first."

Looking at the back of Ni Meng leaving, Mi Hao said softly to Cheng Qianrui: "Brother Cheng, just now the editor-in-chief Ni said that he wanted to talk about cooperation, is Nali the one who just bought TCCD? They want to prepare for the Chinese market? Before you It seems to have told me that this company is very used to outsourcing, just like the US headquarters of "Pioneer"."

Cheng Ganrui chuckled, and said: "It seems that you have done your homework seriously. That's right, her husband's family in Nali Group has a controlling stake, so she is named as the art director. Some small brands are like the franchised brands under the husband-and-wife store. It’s no different from ours here. But... I don’t know whether it’s bad luck or the leadership’s consideration. I bought a personal brand Missi of an Italian designer before, but it didn’t do very well in the domestic market.”

Mi Hao clapped his hands when he heard the words: "Ah, I know this! When I was just in college, there was a school girl I liked, and the neutral style was a bit punk, which was very small. But later it became bigger. I think it was in Shenzhen. I have opened a physical store, and it has been popular for a while, so why did it go cold?"

Cheng Qianrui chuckled: "Missi started to decline after he came in for a while. Now blame his sales for being too late. It's better to see how the management changes as soon as possible. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

Mi Hao nodded when he heard the words, and was about to touch the back of his head when he suddenly remembered the styling water that was sprayed on it, so he quickly put down his hands.He sighed softly, and said: "It feels like the more I work, the more I discover... Well, every industry has its own difficulties. Sales have their own hardships, and advertising has its own hardships. Even the editor-in-chief of the American edition, Winter ...Hey, Brother Cheng, when you told me about stock trading, didn't you say that the richer you are, the more you lose? At that time, I was thinking that the most difficult thing is not how much you can earn when it is rising, but how much you can earn when it is rising. When it falls, try to lose as little as possible. From this point of view, Wen Teer's family is so rich, they must have lost even more."

"You're quite philosophical today." Cheng Qianrui looked at him a little exaggeratedly, and smiled when he saw Mi Hao blushing, "Why did you suddenly become more enlightened and turn to discuss economics?"

Mi Hao was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly: "I'm trying to learn from you, Brother Cheng. Just...something, I also want to analyze it and see if I can explain it. Because I didn't know it before. Think about it seriously, when you encounter something now, you will suddenly remember what you said before, it feels so reasonable."

Cheng Ganrui stood there and looked at Mi Hao.

Mi Hao paused for a while, then looked up at Cheng Ganrui, feeling a little puzzled while shy.

One minute later, Cheng Ganrui still stood where he was and continued to look at Mi Hao.

Mi Hao: "?"

Cheng Ganrui stared at him and smiled.

Mi Hao: "???"

Cheng Ganrui took out his mobile phone from his pocket and started typing with a smile on his face.

Mi Hao: "?????"

Ten seconds later, the phone flickered, and the confused innocent meat rabbit saw the message from Mr. Big Tail Wolf in a neat suit——

"I'll eat more later."

Mmmmmmm.

"Replenish your energy."

Hmm... ummm?

"I'm going to tease you tonight."

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

what's up?

Mi Hao looked at Cheng Qianrui with a bewildered face and said with a gentle smile, "Mr. Zhao should be here soon, let's go to the lobby together", and then he straightened his clothes and tie, as if the wonderful invitation that just popped up on the phone screen just an illusion...

Then... look again.

Clear and clear five words: evening, morning, want, get, you.

It's true ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

scream.

During the dinner that followed, Mi Hao paralyzed his wounded heart with a serious work attitude, as if the next second would be a big order of tens of millions.He really didn't understand why Cheng Qianrui suddenly became interested?
